Jo, do you do the i crossword regularly? If so, do you have favourite setters? I like the papers that use pseudonyms for their setters, as I like to know in advance who I'm about to do battle with. Also, I'm sure it must be frustrating for setters for The Times and Telegraph to know that nobody knows it was them, especially if there's a particularly great clue, like the recent: 'One espousing leather trousers' (6)
